Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine that ranks among the most exquisite creations of South African viticulture. In John Platter’s Wine Guide, former vintages of this wine were awarded 4.5 or 5 out of 5 possible stars.

This pure varietal Cabernet unites notes of black cherries, dark plums and black currants in its multi-layered bouquet, which harmonise wonderfully with nuances of cedar, oak and cigar box. On the palate, the wine shows great density, fine tannins and great elegance, complemented by impressively well-integrated wood aromas and a fascinating balance. The finish is long-lasting, showing a lovely, sustained spice.

The wine matured for 20 months in casks, of which 40% were first-fill and 30% each were second- and third-fill barrels. Try this red wine from the Stellenbosch region with flash-fried steaks, game or various fine, ripe cheeses.

Ein Aushängeschild für südafrikanische Weine, in aller Welt beliebt und begehrt.

Kobus Basson, der heutige Chef des modernen Weinguts, hat seine Philosophie so erklärt: „Eine Kombination der Fruchtaromen und die Intensität der ‚Neuen Welt‘ mit der Eleganz und Struktur der ‚Alten Welt‘ sind der Erfolg für Weine mit Charakter, Komplexität und Balance“.

Die Strategie im Weinberg ist einfach. Der Erfolg des Winzers beginnt im Weinberg, dort wird das Fundament für große Weine errichtet. Bassons sorgfältige Gutsverwaltung sorgt für umfangreiche, natürliche Ressourcen. Seine innovative, zeitgerechte Arbeit im Weinberg, angefangen bei der Auslaubung und Ertragsreduzierung, über selektive Anpflanzung, Bodenverbesserung, dem Terroir und der Sorte entsprechend, sowie der sorgsame Umgang mit dem Lesegut, bis hin zur Weiterverarbeitung, sichert den Erfolg der Kleinen Zalze.
